| Key: | E Major (4 sharp) |
As usual, chord signs are repeated sice every letter is meant to represent 1 bar. When two chords are connected by a "-", this means that each letter represents half a bar. This song's pretty straightforward and easy to figure out on piano. Wonderful melody.
Intro: a couple of bars in E, with bass going E... B G# B E... etc.
(every time the song gets to E, this pattern is repeated)
E E - Edim(no2)* E E -
Ohhh- Emi- -ly
Edim(no2) E E
I壇 love to be
A (add4) A
Down by the sea with you
E (add6) E
Having tea with you
A (add4) A
Walking hand in hand
E (add6) E
On the shifting sands
B (add9) A E E
Maybe we値l love again
B (add9) A E E
Maybe we値l love again
E E - Edim(no2)* E E -
Soon- the time will come
Edim(no2) E E
When we must say
A (add4) A
Goodbye my dear dear friend
E (add6) E
Till we meet a- gain
A (add4) A
Though I知 far a- way
E (add6) E
I値l still hear you say
B (add9) A E E
Maybe we値l love again
B (add9) A E E
Maybe we値l love again
F#m(sus4)-F#m F#m**
Hold my hand
F#m(sus4)-F#m F#m*** E E**
On the sand
F#m(sus4)-F#m F#m**
Say once more
F#m(sus4)-F#m F#m*** E E
Like before
B (add9) A E E
Maybe we値l love again
B (add9) A E E
Maybe we値l love again
notes:
*Edim(no2) keeps the E bass pattern, but RH is E-A#-C# (so no G)
**in the last quarter of these bars, Cale's bass hand does notes E-F-F#
(whereby the F# is the first measure of the next bar)
***in the last quarter of this bar, Cale's melody hand does the chords
F#m-Bb-E (the E being of the next bar), more specifically using the notes
AC#-BbD-G#BE - it lifts the whole thing to the aethereal two E-bars
For the F#m(sus4), the right hand preferably keeps C# and F#, following the
melody (e.g. hold-my-hand) with B-C#-A (where the B is the sus4, C# is back
in ordinary F#m and A is the next bar's F#m, or almost)
